Peel Street, Marsden - Highways and Public Spaces Design

Kirklees Council as the responsible authority is looking to appoint a suitably qualified consultancy team to help develop a Peel Street Improvement Study. The main objectives of the study are to:

• Understand the movement throughout the central zone of Peel Street and how this can be improved.
• Understand how to create a safer environment through a better balance between pedestrians and cars.
• Create a landscape solution to improve the public space adjacent to the Mechanics.
• Understand how working with New Mills development - collaborative working in terms of parking provision and management.

The aim is to build on the work outlined in the Blueprint and develop this into a RIBA stage 2 design with the aim to help support future funding bids to reach RIBA stage 3 and 4.
